I'm planning on it actually. I'll be at the Black Cat for 2 nights in a few weeks for the Kingface/GI reunion.

I'm geeking about another opportunity to see Kingface.

I wish I were in town for these - that reunion is a Salad Days Party with Kingface, Black Market Baby, Dag Nasty, Scream, GI, and Youth Brigade over two nights. Should be fun - although watching 45 year old dudes slamdance in a non-existent mosh pit last week at X was hilarious and sad at the same time...

Finally, possibly my favorite label from those years. Those hand screened covers kinda gave notice to what was gonna be inside. Amateur at best, but heartfelt and sincere. Gravity gave me tons of new bands to listen to and while they didn't all ever sound the same, they had a cohesiveness that formed the "Gravity Sound". Most sounded like an artsy-fartsy Black Flag. If you didn't like that band, you'd hate these.

Also: These records will put my kid through college when I hock them on Ebay.

Heroin

Black Dice

Angel Hair

Second Story Window

EvergreenOf Note: The drummer, Jason Boesel, went on to Rilo Kiley after this band.

One of my resolutions this year is to buy a shizzy turntable to MP3 converter and put up a blog for these old records.
